The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty here. I've been staring at the charts for our local stretch, and to be honest, it's a pretty grim outlook for the next couple of weeks. We're in for a long, dry spell of surf.
The spot in question is Hof Maravi, a beach and jetty break that's usually good for picking up swell, but it's exposed to the SW. The problem is, the swell we're getting is mostly weak, short-period windswell from the WNW, and the wind is almost always blowing the wrong way. The first little pulse shows up on Tuesday afternoon, July 14th, but it's a tiny 2ft with a weak 34 (energy) behind it, and a 15 km/h onshore breeze. That's a complete write-off.
We get a few glassy mornings, like Saturday the 18th, Sunday the 19th, and Monday the 20th, but the swell is almost non-existent – 2ft or 2ft with periods around 7 seconds and energy readings in the teens or low 30s. It's flat, not surfable. The wind is light and glassy, but there are no waves. The water temp is about 82°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, but that's about the only interesting thing.
There's a big gap of tiny, junky conditions until Friday the 24th. The swell finally gets some size, hitting 5ft from the WNW with an 8-second period and moderate energy (287 in the morning, 321 in the afternoon). But the wind is 15-20 km/h onshore or cross-onshore. The wave comment says "poor surf conditions." It's going to be blown out, choppy, and messy. Honestly, this looks more like a kite-surfing day than a paddling day.
The only day that gets a "marginal" shout is Saturday morning, July 25th. The swell is still 5ft from the WNW, 8 seconds, with a solid 329 (energy), and the wind is light from the SSW at 10 km/h – a light cross-onshore that might just be okay. That's your pick, but it's still nothing to write home about. It's a "maybe you'll get a couple if you're lucky" kind of session. After that, the swell drops back to 1ft to 4ft with more onshore winds right through to Wednesday, July 29th.
So, the bottom line: if you're desperate, the Saturday morning of the 25th is your only real shot, and it's a marginal one. For the rest of the 16 days, it's a whole lot of flat, blown-out, or just plain tiny surf. The forecasts can always change, but right now, it's a lean period.
Rusty.

Information about the Hof Maravi Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Hof Maravi provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Hof Maravi can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Hof Maravi surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Hof Maravi) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Hof Maravi may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Hof Maravi is 1 km (1 miles) from Ashdod. If you plan a holiday in Tel Aviv and South, look for hotels and other accommodation in Ashdod. Ashdod has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
